A drive shaft also called as propeller shaft or cardan
shaft connects transmission of the vehicle to the differential. Transmitting
torque between the engine/transmission system and the wheels is the simple purpose
that drive shaft serve. Drive shaft transfers the rotation energy to the wheels
through a gear system housed in the differential.
Driveshaft Standards
A drive shaft used in the vehicle has particular
design as it has to meet high standards for the following performance metrics:
- Durability
- Shear Stress and Vibration
- Warping when Exposed to Temperature Extremes
- Torque Transmission Efficiency
Driveshaft Joints
When the shafts are relatively long, usually joint
shafts are used to connect propeller shaft. Drive Shafts Joints uses some prominent
joint designs but the most commonly used joint is universal joint shaft and constant-velocity joints. Universal joint shaft also called as Universal coupling or U-joint
is a joint that is used to join two rods which are inclined to each other at
their axes. This coupling is mostly used in shafts that used to transmit rotary
motion or power. It is actually pair of
things put close to each other inclined at 90ᵒ and connected by universal
shaft. Constant-velocity joints are used to maintain constant rotation speed
between two components of the driving shaft, even at significant angles. If
deviation angle becomes large universal joints generate vibration and angular
momentum discrepancies. In drive shafts design of constant-velocity joints and U-joint
are as important as the driveshaft itself.
